As an assistant, I never liked the long impression-making process, including mixing the impression material on a pad, loading it into a syringe and extruding the material.
Thirty-one chapters--including a new one on endonic materials-- cover topics including: gypsum products for dental casts, waxes, metals and alloys, ceramics and porcelain fused to metal, synthetic polymers, denture lining materials, impression materials, dental amalgam, resin-based filling materials, glass ionomer restorative materials, temporary crown and bridge resins, and cements based on phosphoric acid, among others.
